Ms. Maertz's 1st graders are doing an author study for Leo Lionni. One of his most famous books is called "Swimmy". The story has been translated into many languages and we read it in kindergarten in Japanese. We just made our own origami fish and as a "group", we were able to put them together just like in the story of Swimmy! Check out our picture below. Also, enjoy the story of Swimmy in Japanese in the following video.

We have been talking about the Japanese New Year in First Grade Japanese Class. We also played a traditional Japanese children's game called "Fukuwarai" (funny face) which is similar to "Pin the Tail on the Donkey". You can play with the computerhere

Here is a short video of Hello Kitty and her Sister as they look for the "Golden Apple".
Here are two versions of Eric Carle's "The Very Hungary Catepillar" in Japanese.
